Summer 2013: Villa Transfers, Speculation, Suggestions and Rumours

Yes but they probably wouldn't have had any medals to show the grand kids

Young payed a few games in his first season but manure won nothing. Last season he hardly featured so not sure what pride he can attach to the championship medal?

I think it's very sad Milner and Young went off to become bit part, squad players at more successful teams. They could have been Villa legends. However, I'm pretty sure neither of them thinks that way and sadly, but understandably, the money and glamour lured them away. They'll have the medals to show for it too but quite how much contribution they made to the winning of any of them is open to debate. Not that this will bother them I'm sure. They just don't look at it the same way we do and I always thought the way Milner was dressed up to be some sort of down to earth, homespun boy was complete bollocks..

You can be the most down to earth and homespun person in the world, but if someone offered you the opportunity to a) win league titles and b) offered you somewhere in the region of a hundred grand every week would you turn it down?  Would anyone?

Gabby. Apparently.

It was always extremely apparent to me that Milner wouldn't succeed at City (though it depends on your definition of success) He was as much suited to us - probably more than any other player over these last several years - as he wasn't to Man City

City fans have high regard for him - they appreciate his workrate in a team where some strut about , I think he's played a decent amount of games at city and won trophies , his England career hasn't progressed so well as if he had stayed at villa where he looked superb in centre midfield.

Other sites are reporting that we've agreed fee for Antonio Luna, a Spanish left-back from Sevilla who's been on-loan at Real Mallorca...

[ROBBO]

When their playing days are over and the money has stopped coming there may be some regret that they didn't become heroes at one club, City fans will never look upon Barry or Milner as club heroes or any of the play for money players, i reckon if you talk to them about club legends then a players such as Francis Lee will be spoken of not any of the present set up.

Old news my friend, billy walker broke that news a while  ago.

I was only in Mallorca a couple of months ago. I could have bought Tony moon back with me.

I think Luna will fit nicely into the module  lambert is building.

If he does well for us I may start a society in his honour.

[PeterWithesShin]

If we sign him will we see the Lynx spacemen making another VP appearance?

[eastie]

Hopefully dan can let us know when luna has landed.
